HEAT-STOVE.

: Application filed May 29, 1920. Serial No. 385,282.

provide a stove of the classdescribed having novel means whereby the heat from a stove within a room may be evenly and uniformly distributed throughout the room.

A further object of this invention is to' provide novel means whereby the radiating surface of a heat stove may be readily and conveniently increased without dismantling the stove or without interfering with the use of the same. i

The invention further aims to provide a device of the class described which is simple, efiicient in use and cheap to manufacture.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis application and inwhich like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same, V

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stove having a heat radiating attachment applied thereto,

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the heat radiating attachment illustrated in Fig. 1.

In the drawing, the numeral 10 generally desi nates a heat stove which, as illustrated in Fig. 1, comprises a firepot 11 mounted upon a plurality of legs 12. Mounted upon the firepot 11 is a stove body 30 having a fire door 14 and an ash pit door 15 adapted for affording access to the ashes dropped from the combustion -chamber.' The upper end of the body 30 of'the stove is provided with a top or cover 18. I

In the stoves now in use, the area of the. heat radiating surface is so small in proportion to the heat radiated that the heat in the immediate vicinity of the stove is highly concentrated while points some distance from the stove receive but a small amount of heat. This is accounted for by the fact that the heat radiating surface is not large enough to uniformly and evenly distribute the heat throughout the room within which Specification of Letters Patent.

the stove is arranged. To overcome this difficulty I have provided a plurality of vertically arranged spaced parallel corrugations or ribs which form interior passages and an equal number of exterior passages be tween the lnterior passages through which the air may circulate, thereby causing the heat to be evenly dlstributed throughout the room.

In the form of the invention illustrated, the heat radiating means is in the form of an attachment adapted for application to the plain cylindrical drum 30. In this form of.

the invention the additional heat'radiating means consists of a split resilient jacket 34 of. sheet metal and provided with a plurality of vertically arranged spaced parallel ribs or corrugations 36. The jacket 34: is adapted to be sprung about the cylindrical stove body 30 and heldin place by its own resiliency but it may be secured by rivets or other fastening means. With reference to Fig. 1, it will be apparent that the jacket 34.- is

1 spaced upwardly from the lower end of the cylindrical stove body and below the upper end of the same so that air may freely pass through the interior passages 37 and exterior passages 88 formed by the corrugations 36. In other words, the corrugations 36 form interior and exterior passages through which the air is adapted to continuously circulate V as the stove generates heat, so that the heat from the stove is thoroughly circulated throughout the room. It will also be noted that the split portion of the jacket provides an openlng'for access to the front of the stove.

With reference'to-the foregoing description taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings it will be observed that the inventive idea herein disclosed, when I carried out in connection with heat stoves,

will reduce the consumption of fuel to a,

minimum and will also cause the room within'which the stove is located to be uniformly and thoroughly heated.

The attachment illustrated may without inconvenience be applied to stoves already in use. By. connecting the jacket to the stove by rivets or other suitable meansthe same will not become dislodged as the result of continued use.

The invention. may also be carried out in oil burning or other stoves with equal facility It is to be understood that the form of the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred embodiment of the same and that such minor changes in construction and arrangement of parts may be made as will remain Within the spirit of the invention and the scope of what is claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. The combination of a stove having a plain cylindrical drum, and a split resilient jacket adapted to be sprung about said plain cylindrical body and held thereto by its own resiliency and provided with interior and exterior air conducting passages.

2. The combination of a stove having a plain cylindrical body and a split resillent jacket adapted to be sprung about said plain cylindrical body and provided with interior and exterior air conducting passages, said jacket having its upper and lower ends arranged in spaced relation to the upper and lower ends of said body.

3. As an article of manufacture, an attachment for heat stoves comprising a split resilient jacket adapted to be sprung about a stove body and held thereto by its own resiliency and providing at its split portion an opening for access to the front of the stove having a plurality of outwardly directed corrugations thereby forming interior and exterior passages opening outthrough the upper and lower ends of the jacket.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
